Tasha Ghouri has insisted that she’s not worried about the dreaded Strictly Come Dancing curse affecting her relationship with boyfriend Andrew LePage. 

For years, the BBC show has sparked many off-screen romances between celebrities and their professional partners, with some even leaving their spouses to pursue these relationships.

But while they faced challenges and fought off rivals in their romance while in the Love Island villa, Tasha, 26, is confident that she will not stray from her reality star beau as he’s the ‘hottest man on the planet’.

In a new interview, Tasha – who is paired up with pro Aljaž Škorjanec – told how she and her partner, 29, ‘trust each other’ implicitly and even told how she’ll marry him someday.

She told The Sun: ‘Andrew, to me, is the hottest man on this whole planet. I look at him and I’m like: “Yeah, that’s my man!” Me and Andrew trust each other 100 per cent.

While they faced challenges and fought off rivals in their romance while in the Love Island villa, Tasha, 26, is confident that she will not stray from her reality star beau as he’s the ‘hottest man on the planet’

‘It’s not a make-or-break for us. We’re going to breeze through this because we’re going to marry each other one day, you know?’

She added that she and Andrew didn’t even ‘discuss’ the possibly of the curse as it didn’t ‘bother them at all’, insisting once again that they ‘trust each other’.

Tasha then went on to reveal how Andrew reacted when he learned she would be partnered with Slovenian hunk Aljaž.

Speaking with much confidence, the model told how her boyfriend of two years had ‘no worries at all’ and was ‘super-happy’ at the pairing as he could see what a ‘great partnership’ she has with Aljaž.

So happy are they all that Tasha and Aljaž have even gone on a double date with their respective partners.

Tasha shared: ‘Aljaz is so happy with his wife [Janette Manrara] and we went on a double date last night, and had a lovely dinner with their beautiful daughter, Lyra. Andrew’s been so supportive through it all.’

Relationships aside, Tasha, who was born deaf and wears a cochlear implant, is more concerned about the reason she’s taking in the show – representation.

The blonde beauty, whose lifetime ambition was to take to the Strictly floor, told how she wants to ‘inspire little Tasha’s’ out there struggling with ‘self-love’ and give them a confidence boost.

So focused on her goal, that Tasha is even blocking out the recent controversy surrounding her signing due to her apparent dance experience.

The Strictly star, who claims she only worked professionally for five months, insists that negativity is just ‘outside noise’ and that all that matters to her is representing ‘the amazing deaf communities’ in the country.

Tasha isn’t the only star to discuss the Strictly curse this week as Jamie Borthwick batted away suggestions he is romantically involved with Strictly Come Dancing partner Michelle Tsiakkas as he insisted they are like ‘siblings’.

Fans saw the chemistry between the EastEnders star, 30, and the professional dancer, 29, on the launch show as they tested out cute nicknames for each other.

However, he has since insisted they are so much like siblings ‘no one has to worry’.

Laughing off the idea of the Strictly curse, Jamie told The Mirror: ‘The idea of that whole Strictly curse, well it’s definitely not going to be a thing here because it would be weird doing that with my sister.

Dispelling any rumours of romance and the dreaded Strictly curse, the actor, 30, claimed his partner Michelle, 29, mothers him and he secretly idolises her boyfriend

‘Michelle and I met before Strictly and we instantly had a connection. But she is like a sister, an aunt, a mum, a best friend. She’s looking after me, she’s mothering me.’

And Jamie, who stars as cheeky chap Jay on the BBC One soap since he was 11, also said he is in awe of Michelle’s boyfriend Simone Arena, who is a Dancing With The Stars champion.

He explained: ‘Her boyfriend doesn’t know it yet because we’ve never met, but he’s my rock already. I’ve been looking him up, watching him dance on his shows and I’m like, “Mate, you’re my icon”. He’s an absolutely fantastic dancer.’

Michelle also added she and Jamie are like ‘brother and sister’ and have already established ‘such a lovely connection’ so early on in the show.
